'She will play soccer for another three years [in America] and at the end of all of that, we would love to settle down here in Australia.
'So marriage is definitely in the works and in our plans for the future.'
The couple first met while studying at university and later committed to a long-distance relationship for 18 months during the Covid-19 pandemic.
'It is brutal. Corona has messed up a lot of people but I am thankful and I have to look on the brighter side of things,' Marley said of their long-distance struggles.
'It is hard that I haven't obviously seen her but we will be together soon. Thank God for technology.'
Disability support worker Marley was famously crowned the winner of the 2021 series of Big Brother Australia after spending 63 days in the house.
He took home the $250,000 cash prize and emotionally told how it would allow him to take care of his father Clotaire, after his mother Victoria's death from cancer.
